Dear ASE DBA World,

An ASE instance has its tempdb fragments as follows.

master                               24.0 MB data only            Jan 30 2013  9:18AM                  24480

tempdbdev                          2048.0 MB data only            Jan 30 2013  9:19AM                2088336

tempdbdev                          1024.0 MB data only            Aug 24 2014  5:14PM                1044368

tempdbdev                          1024.0 MB data only            Jul 12 2015 11:17AM                1044368

tempdbdev                          2048.0 MB log only             Jul 25 2015  3:11PM       not applicable

tempdbdev                          2048.0 MB log only             Jan 12 2016  3:08PM       not applicable

tempdbdev                          2048.0 MB data only            Jan 24 2016  4:13PM                2088960

tempdblog                          3072.0 MB log only             Mar 15 2016  2:14PM       not applicable

tempdblog                          1024.0 MB log only             Mar 15 2016  2:40PM       not applicable

For some mistakes, by the DBA the log only shows in the device meant for the data. Log is now over configured.

How can I set the fragments back to normal? What issues (if-so-ever) should i expect, in such scenario?

Following steps should be good?

sp_configure "allow updates to system tables",1

go

update master..sysusages

  set segmap = 3

  where dbid = 2

  and lstart = 263680

update master..sysusages

  set segmap = 3

  where dbid = 2

  and lstart = 394752

go

sp_configure "allow updates to system tables",0

go

shutdown and reboot

go

Hi All,

While installing BO 4.1 SP06 getting below error.

Error:

Would you like to correct it?

Please advice.

Dear All,

For our production server with sybase database which are the file system that needs to be backup for an online backup scheduled twice daily

Kindly advice

Thanks and Regards

I have 3 corrupt database dumps salvaged from a WinPro 2000 box with a damaged disk running ASE 12.5.3. When attempting to load the databases into a win10 ASE 12.5.3 server, 692 & 834 error messages are being raised.

Is there a way to load the database and have the server ignore these errors. My thoughts are that whatever portion of the database that is not corrupt would still be important information that my client can capture. Had this error not occurred during a load, it would be possible to run the dbcc page command(as well as some other dbcc's) and determine the object(s) associated with the corrupted page(s). Perhaps objects or partial objects that haven't been corrupted, can be bcp'd out and loaded into a healthy database.

I'm listing the text of the error message below:

WARNING! If the 692 error is not a soft error (one that exists only in memory), the problem is severe. Sybase Technical Support may be able to help you recover from the error. However, this recovery procedure often results in loss of data; if this is unacceptable, you will probably need to restore from backups.

I contacted Sybase for an engagement to recover as much of this database as is possible.  I was told since there is no support/maintenance agreement, they could not help me even though my client would be willing to pay.

Thank you in advance for all your collective assistance. Any suggestion/direction is most appreciated.

Dear Experts,

I am starting ECC6 EHP 7 Sr2 with SAP ASE 15.7 Installation on SLES 12, It would be my first ASE experience. As per Note 1554717 SLES 12 is supported but kernel 7.40 of NW 7.4 is not in green state under PAM.. Please suggest.

Please share SAP Installation guide or document for ASE 15.7.

1) What are the OS related settings for SAP ASE 15.7 prior running Sapinst?

2) Default installation location for ASE?

3) Manual raw partitioning etc etc?? or just use SAN basis partitions??

Please share the docs. SCN SDN or Compact Guides with screenshots.

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to install SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 8 on SUSE 12 and Sybase 16.0..02.02

This SUSE 12 instance is setup on VMWare

While installing, the setup is giving me error while configuring the database. The error is "Assertion failed: Unable to setup database device"

I have referred few SAP Notes for this but could not find any precise solution. In one of the SAP Notes, I found out the reason being that Sybase is using more than 4100 MB of RAM. I tried the installation by allocating 15 GB of RAM but the error is same

Can anyone advice on this situation or any exact SAP Note which gives solution on this

Today in our Db we had strange problem.

Monitoring of spinlok on the basis of dbcc monitor works in my BD

Directly I write information on spinlock to sysmon.

As a result today during the whole day I receive next situation.

I know processes which appearance leads to a problem.( the process causing a problem)

This process launches multithreaded data handling.

At the same time working 3 similar process.(near 20 -25 spid )

The problem arises when it is launched 2 and more of them.

1 process can normally work.

1. 3.

In case of start of all 3 process, operation directly of this functionality begins to work extremely slowly.

At the same time all remained processes work stablly.

1. 4.

In case of switch-off of processes from the DBMS operation of process is normally work (in case of sharp reduction of connections).

1. 5.

Flags are at the moment switched on

What can be the cause of such behavior of operation of specific procedures?

What it is worth paying attention to?

Hello,

after switching from Oracle to Sybase two years ago (customer wish) I had to set up some standby databases, that works and the these standby dbs running fine, until a few days ago. One standby stops working during applying some transaction logs. Normally I would load the latest backup of the <SID> db and start applying again from that point, but the database service (Win2k8 R2 SP1) stops working. The service stays in starting mode, the log file doesn't log an error!

I didn't found a way to get the service running again, so I decided to reinstall the whole standby system.

Newest SWPM, uninstall > install (what's new, SWPM added new sybase users even they exists in AD (productiv side) (I had to change the user on the PRD system, because the internal windows id was changed)

So, Sybase service is running fine again and the SAP system was up.

Next step was, to reload the master db with the newest backup, start single user modus and loaded master db successfully.

After that, I started Sybase via service and logged on, and get the following error message:

Msg 921, Level 14, State 1:
Server 'SID':
Database 'saptools' has not been recovered yet - please wait and try again.
Msg 4001, Level 11, State 1:

In the SID.log I get the following error messages: (just the main part)

I didn't see an error like this before and I don't know how the "sybsystemprocs" db get marked as "suspect".

I retried to load the master db, that works, but if I try to load saptools, nothing happened. After "go", no error no other information.

Any idea how to get back to a "working" Sybase database?

Thank you!

Hi!

Is Java 8 compatible and certified for using it with ASE 15.7?

My customer have plans for upgrade the java versión on the server.

I couldn't find information.

Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I have an urgent question on SAP ASE 15.7.

I want to install SAP PO (Process Orchestration) on SAP ASE 15.7 using Microsoft Failover Clustering (MSCS) for HA.

I have read note: 1650511 which mentions "SAP installations for SAP ASE provides installation option for a Microsoft Cluster environment as of Software Logistics toolset 1.0 SPS 06."

However, I did not find any SAP note which says that SAP ASE 15.7 is supported and can be installed on MSCS.

Any pointers here would be helpful.

Regards.

Dear All,

We have got recommendation to change parameters default data cache, default data cache (16K), wash area (16K), default data cache (128K), wash area (128K) to a default  value and we are new to sybase database

By using parameter sp_cacheconfig "default data cache", "____" we can change value but will this change for 16K and 128K or we need to change by separate commands. Kindly advice

Thanks and Regards,
